Gourmet Avocado Toast Flights

by

An irresistible array of avocado toasts, each with its own delightful twist to tantalize every taste bud.

Ingredients
For the Base:
4 hearty slices of artisanal bread (choose from tangy sourdough, nutty rye, or wholesome multigrain)
2 perfectly ripe avocados, mashed until creamy with some texture
A scant ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt
A pinch (¼ teaspoon) of freshly ground black pepper
Suggested Toppings:
Mediterranean-Inspired: Crumbly, creamy feta cheese; juicy cherry tomato halves; and a drizzle of golden olive oil
Sweet Sensation: Jewel-like pomegranate seeds with a drizzle of luscious honey
Spicy Kick: A drizzle of fiery sriracha, a sprinkle of nutty sesame seeds, and a touch of zesty lime peel
Classic Elegance: Silky smoked salmon, a tender poached egg, and a sprig of fragrant dill
Directions
Toast the Bread:
Pop your bread slices into a toaster or onto a grill, toasting until they’re golden brown and delightfully crisp around the edges.

Prepare the Avocado Spread:
In a bowl, gently mash the avocados with a touch of salt and black pepper. Aim for a consistency that’s creamy but still has a bit of texture. Spread this vibrant mixture generously over each slice of toasted bread.

Add the Toppings:

Mediterranean: Scatter crumbled feta cheese and cherry tomato halves over the avocado base, finishing with a light drizzle of olive oil.
Sweet: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the spread, then drizzle with a thin ribbon of honey for sweetness.
Spicy: Drizzle sriracha over the top, add a pinch of sesame seeds, and garnish with fresh lime zest for a bold kick.
Classic: Lay a delicate slice of smoked salmon over the avocado, crown it with a perfectly poached egg, and finish with a sprig of dill.
Serve:
Arrange the toasts on a serving platter for a vibrant, crowd-pleasing presentation. Serve them immediately to enjoy their freshest flavors and textures.
